For the love of Home Ownership

Easy to say and yes I am happy, actually I am ecstatic that I finally entered the home owner elite. Well it seems that way at the moment even though I know we are no more elite than anyone else. In actual fact nothing has really changed. I have to pay money to someone else every month for the privileged of staying in a house. I do not like where I am going with this. I love my new house, all mine now I need to make it my own. The mortgage and insurance are taken care of and I have my new carpets arriving next week so all is well.

Cat Rescue Homes

By Moses Wright

Cats may become homeless if the circumstances of their families change. If a family moves to a residence that does not allow cats or has a financial setback, the family may need to surrender the cat to an animal shelter or cat rescue home.

A cat may lose a home due to the development of an allergy by a family member. An unwanted litter of kittens is sometimes surrendered to a shelter due to neglecting to have the cats spayed and neutered.

These homeless cats are often surrendered to animal shelters or cat rescue homes. A majority of pets are surrendered to rescue groups and shelters due to changes in the family and not due to problems with the animals.

Animal shelters can be pushed to their limits in the number of animals they can care for at a time. Many animal shelters have ties with cat rescue homes and fostering homes that can take some cats until permanent homes are found.

Many animal shelters rely on fosterers to care for some of the animals in their homes. A cat foster home can provide a cat with a more natural, family setting with social interaction until a permanent home is found.

Being a fosterer can be a very positive experience. The fosterer can take pride in contributing to animal rescue efforts. The fostered pets often show affection and provide companionship.

Some people would like to become fosterers but have concerns over the costs of caring for the animals. Some animal shelters cover many of the costs of fostering cats including veterinary care, litter, and cat food.

People interested in becoming fosterers should contact their local animal shelters for information. The animal shelters have requirements to ensure that the fostered animals will be well cared for. Sometimes, animal shelters will help an interested, sincere individual meet the requirements for becoming a fosterer.
